Ventricular reconstruction for ischemic cardiomyopathy
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2003Left ventricular surgical reconstruction has been advocated for patients with coronary artery disease, prior myocardial infarction, and poor left ventricular function. The objective of the approach is to resect or exclude all akinetic or dyskinetic nonfunctioning portions of the ventricular cavity and to restore the left ventricle size and shape toward

Surgical remodeling in ischemic cardiomyopathy
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2003Ischemic cardiomyopathy has a very poor prognosis, despite significant advances in pharmacologic therapy in the past decade. Orthotopic heart transplantation is an option for only a small minority of patients. Due to donor shortage and a finite outcome after transplant, nontransplant surgical intervention should be intensively investigated.

Gender Differences in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2018Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death among women globally, majority of which are due to ischemic heart disease. Despite the recent advances in the overall management of CVD, there are unique challenges in the diagnosis and management of women as well as poorer outcomes.Women with ischemic cardiomyopathy experience significant ...

Functional morphology of ischemic cardiomyopathy
Arkhiv patologii, 2014To show that ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) that is generally believed to be a variant of chronic heart disease (CHD) and an analogue of chronic heart failure is an initial stage and the background of all further forms of CHD.Sixty cardiac biopsies obtained from patients during aortocoronary bypass surgery for CHD and myocardia from 55 rabbits in which ...

Chagas cardiomyopathy and ischemic stroke
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2006American trypanosomiasis, known as Chagas disease is a major cause of cardiomyopathy in South America. Irreversible damage to the heart can appear 10-20 years after chagasic infection. The relationship between Chagas cardiomyopathy and ischemic stroke has been reviewed.

Coronary revascularization in ischemic cardiomyopathy
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2004This article first discusses coronary artery disease, including left-ventricular dysfunction, hibernating myocardium, the relationship between stunning, hibernation, and heart failure, and molecular mechanisms underlying myocardial hibernation. Left ventricular function and the prognosis and pathophysiology of left-ventricular dysfunction are then ...

Surgical options in ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Italian heart journal : official journal of the Italian Federation of Cardiology, 2004The prevalence of ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy in western countries is increasing despite improvements in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular disease. The management of patients with coronary artery disease and severe left ventricular dysfunction continues to be challenging and the mortality rate with medical therapy alone in this

Outcome of Chagas cardiomyopathy in comparison to ischemic cardiomyopathy
International Journal of Cardiology, 2013Chagas cardiomyopathy and ischemic heart disease (IHD) are frequent causes of chronic systolic heart failure (CHF) in areas where the former is endemic. Nonetheless, a specific comparison of outcome and role of etiology of CHF failure has not been performed in patients with both conditions.Two-hundred twenty two patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy and ...
